Try and get a 290 for a little bit more for that price. get a cheaper motherboard to fit it in.

Soooooo...

That doesn't mean you will have a bad time.  Don't do this, you can't say that you don't want to use a certain brand when building a PC.  This is a bad habit to get into because you could be missing out on a great opportunity if you don't.  Or lastly the brands you are left with might not be very good quality (I'm looking at you 3rd party PSU's).
